Gothic horror and romance, alive again
PLEASE WELCOME LYNDI'S ADVENTUROUS FRIEND  P.F. ROQUELAURE!!  In 1983, Griffin Andrew Meade moves to Bartholomew Bay, settling into Antioch, the ancestral mansion of the wealthy Bartholomew family. Unbeknownst to him, he discovers it is haunted by the restless spirit of Angelus Bartholomew III, who met a tragic death in 1919 after a fatal fall from the widow’s walk. Through flashback dreams, Griffin begins to unravel the secret romance between Angelus and Lazarus Benedictine, the lighthouse keeper's son—a forbidden love story that echoes Griffin’s own budding relationship with Christian Gutmann.

All real journalists should resign right now from CBS. That would force the newly-installed News Czarina to fill vacant anchor chairs and reporter slots with whatever gum can be scraped off the floor. Make it hurt. Make it obvious to the world how CBS has fallen.

Have you read these? Check out this recent review of CRUEL CHARADE: Cruel Charade — One of the best books I’ve read in a looong time! I came across your book Cruel Charade and man… the way you pulled me into Bet’s descent was brutal in the best way possible. It’s raw, emotional, claustrophobic in all the right places — and you layered the mystery with just enough venom that I had to know what was coming next.

Janet on one of her many travels! Please welcome my friend and sister writer, Janet Pierce! Thanks for being with us today. First, would you tell us a bit about yourself? What area of the country do you live in, do you have a family, pets, etc. I live in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA with my husband. Occasionally our granddog Norman comes for a visit, with or without my grandsons.
